quote author=Reg Smeeton link=topic=51390.msg1197221#msg1197221 date=1369222766] A step in the right direction, but not what is really needed, that should be a straight open meeting Q and A, get RS and the Adver along, and call it a Fan's Forum. Also by making the comparison to previous Boards with dodgy reputations, I'm trying to point out plans don't always come to fruition, however sexy the drawings, models and power points might be. More than one fan should be aloud to turn up though.  They can call it a Fans' Forum if they want....one particularly noisy fan would do though |

If fans are allowed to ask questions about the business plan/running of the club, does it make any difference what they call it?

It needs a snappy title. ROOOOAAAAARRRRR!!! 2013. It would an annual event..a financial appraisal / festival, with a smorgasboard of fun for the family. ROOOOAAAAARRRRR!!! 2014 would be bigger and better, in terms of incompetence and general fuckwittery, and Callum Rice may be able to book Kramer to play live. ROOOOAAAAARRRRR!!! 2015 will see a Q&A with 'loan legend' Des Linton about his highs and lows at Swindon.

Definitely a step in the right direction and almost (but not quite) an admission that they have been very poor in the PR area to date.
Seems to me, sitting from afar, that through lack of decent communication they have got themselves into a position with the fan base from which they may never recover.
By saying little or nothing they have allowed the rumour mill to go into overdrive and allow whatever good they may be doing (they are after all innocent until proven guilty) to be totally overlooked.
The announcement of this meeting is a baby step on the road to redemption but will be useless unless the Board undertake a genuine and sustained effort to communicate with and engage the fan base. J Wray may have had his faults but he seemed to be excellent in that area.
If the short term news is bad I, and would think most fans, would rather know than be kept in the dark and if we have to do a couple of years of mid-table consolidation in L1 I can live with that too so long as it means I can still watch Swindon Town FC whenever I am able to make it back to the UK.

Anyone heard of Peter Matthews? Set up a company by the name of Swindon Town Football Club (2013) and promptly changed the name to Weaver Wroot Consultancy Limited.
May or may not have a connection (sorry if already mentioned elsewhere).

He appears to be an accountant, so maybe a connection to Crouch?
